Parker 329HB-8-8PP Barbed Tube Male Elbow 1/2 in Npt

Product Description

The PARKER 329HB-8-8PP is a single-barb male elbow fitting designed to connect flexible tubing to a threaded port at a 90-degree angle. Molded from polypropylene, this fitting accepts 1/2-inch inner diameter tubing on the barb end and threads into a 1/2-inch NPT female port on the male end. It is rated for working pressures up to 125 psi and a maximum working temperature of 212 degrees F, making it suitable for a range of fluid-handling applications. The fitting meets FDA compliance and NSF/ANSI 51 standards, which governs materials in contact with food-equipment fluids and potable water systems. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pool service professionals commonly install this fitting during system assembly or repair.

This elbow fitting is used in residential and light commercial fluid-transfer systems where a directional change is needed between a barbed flexible hose and an NPT-threaded component. Typical applications include drinking water equipment, food-processing machinery, pool and spa plumbing, and HVAC condensate or chilled-water lines. Its polypropylene construction resists corrosion and is compatible with many low-pressure water and air systems. The black color coding and compact elbow geometry make routing in tight spaces straightforward during installation.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for low-pressure fluid systems using 1/2-inch ID flexible tubing and 1/2-inch NPT female-threaded ports.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified HVAC and pool service technicians. Shut off system pressure and drain the line before removing or installing any fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to the NPT male threads per IPC guidelines before threading into the female port. Push tubing fully onto the barb and secure with an appropriate clamp to prevent pull-off under pressure.
